"The joy of civilization creates the passionate delight and pride in France which we find in Frenchmen. Life is so good and agreeable a thing there and for so many." - MATTHEW ARNOLD. "The Magic of Property turns sands to gold."-ARTHUR YOUNG. "A small proprietor who knows only part of his little territory, views it with all the affection which property, especially small property, inspires, and who upon that account takes pleasure, not only in cultivating, but in adorning it, is generally of all improvers the most industrious, the most intelligent, and the most successful."-ADAM SMITH. |
